What have you done to your 5th Gen 4Runner today?

Are you going to wait until the stock tires are done to change them?

That’s what I’m doing, I’ve got 27k miles on mine so probably 20k more before I change them. I’m thinking going to 275s once it’s time. Technically no lift needed but I think it’ll look better with the WD that you have with slightly bigger tires

 

Even if it is a manufacturers defect, you'd be hard pressed to prove it. It's worth a shot though. If you bought them a place like Discount Tire, they'd be inclined to offer you a free set @ a prorated price.

 

If you buy the certificates - they’ll do it for free

Looks great. I really trying to think outside the box on Canvasback. My wallet has been hurting this year buying all this stuff for the runner

 

I'm in Canada so no discount tire. Bought them from a local independent tire shop and they're going to warranty the tire. There's barely any wear on them so I'm not concerned. I'm happy that they're taking care of me.

 

Going camping for 4 days with two toddler boys and the old lady.
I’ve liked the look of no spare tire, but the time has come to wedge an LT/285 underneath. Throw in my nifty wheel chocks on a chain just in case, JIC!








My face after the 5th tire fit just right:

 

I'll definitely run it till they get down on tread or start shaking. I was raised in the 80's and was around all different 4x4. Everyone of them seem to develop a shimmy while still having a lot of tread so par for the course. I have rzr's & toy hauler now to offroad and tear up so this will be more pavement princess.

 

I rarely get to post in this thread . New shoes; BFG HD Terrain AT's in 255/80R17:

 

My ass and hips would ache the next morning with that pad!

 

Xpel Prime XR Plus at 45% all the way around except the windshield (no go in NC). Man what a huge difference it made!

 

I like that skid hitch. Was that custom or off-the-shelf?

 

I'm very much hoping that's just to cover the whole platform and not his actual sleeping pad. I'm in love with my Exped MegaMat...it's nearly as comfortable as my actual bed at home.

 

...On my to-do list. BTW, what tires and lift? thx.

 

picked up plywood for work and transported home, used the 4R with the kiddos instead of the work van cuz it’s funner. had buddy at the lumber yard rip a 5/8” sheet

 

Finally got some dirt therapy in after a long wait. Wildfire haze has Pike's Peak muted out in the background, but it was still a beautiful day out there.

 

Kind of custom but not, off this website:
(I bought it off of dude on Facebook marketplace)

A 2010 TE. Nice . I bought a black one brand new back in 2010 and sold it in 2022 with a grand total of only 80K miles on it . Stupid me sold a never off road cream puff .

 

Finally gave Casper a bath. First one of the summer (I know -- late in the season). But wooo boy! The layers of dirt were pretty bad. Looks much better. Didn't do anything on the inside. Pretty much a lost cause it feels with a black interior.

 

Brother, you need to give that sidewalk & driveway a bath too. Get you a pressure washer and knock that out this weekend. You have yeaaaaaaaaaaaaars of grime/dirt built up.

 

I would, but the sidewalk belongs to the HOA/city and driveway was a neighbors. But the driveway at my house needs it. Badily.

 

Bought some stock size MT Baja boss at tires since it's tax free week in Ohio. $864 shipped to me, which I'll install them late fall.

 

I'll post pics of the tire stack when they show up Tues or Wed

 

When you eventually replace your windshield, be super clear that your pillars are Xpel'd and that any tear or cut will result in the entire roof piece being replaced.

This happened to me and thankfully, I went through the dealership and they made the windshield subcontractor pay for my Xpel replacement piece and labour.

 

I added a Taco Vinyl grill badge.

 

2010 to 2013 4R Trail roof rails installed on my 2024 Solar Octane.

 

Not a huge add on but huge for me in keeping the phone in place and freeing up airflow from the vent.

 

I think the front end of the '10-'13 is my favorite
